Profit Is Profit.

The most inveterate scalper that ever
operated in the Chicago grain market is
Millionaire Hutchinson. \ scalper, the
uninitiated should be told is a trader who
jumps in and out with rapid deals, salts
fed with small profits, and making as few
losses as possible. Most operators want
to double their money, and many stand
for long profits. Not so with Hutch. His
orders to his brokers are to close out as
soon as they can show a profit to his
credit.
What do yOu mean by a profit, Mr.
HutchinsOn?' inquired young broker the
other day, on receiving his first order from
the scalper.
Great heavensr' was the rejoinder
haven't you been here long enough to
know what profit is?'' Yes, l know
what profit is, but I don't know what
you consider a satisfactory profit" "A
profit, - Hutch then explained, is profit
Any profit should be satisfactory to q man
who isn't a hog. Young man, $50 is a
profit-yes, $40, or So, or 81, or even ten
cents And if you can't do any better,
one cent is better than nothing at all. Go
along and fill that ORDER and be sure that
you earn me a profit, no matter how
small - The broker said he had been
trading on HutchiusOn's account for
seventeen successive days, filing several
small orders each day, and in all that
time he had not made a loss. Some
times his profits were only sufficient to
pay commissions and a dollar or two over
but the old man was always satisfied

need a general farm and stock column,
on account of the hard times not per-

these subjects. Then, how much more

by our own successful farmers. will be

new and enterprising departure, and
as I am making Il study Of poultry.
probably will write occasionally up
on this important topic. Your men-
ton of poultry in the new departure
shows your lOng-headedness.
Let Us look at the statistics OF 1856.
There was raised i'm the United States
i'm 1856, a little over 500. OOO, 600 worth
Of wheat, oats, corn and rye There was
5000, OOO, 900 paid for eggs and fowls,
Or nearly three times as much as the
value Of our whole corn, wheat, oat
and rye product. five add the cotton,
tobacco and dairy product to the grain
product it will not exceed the poultry
product. Verify. poultry is king. Now,
suppose the REGISTER has 900 sub
scribers who are farmers, and that
these farmers average one hundred
hens each (which Is a very low esti-
mattel, and by paying a little more at
tentiOn to small things. each hen could
be made to lay one dozen more eggs in
a wear, they would lay 100000, or
100. 900 dozen more eggs than they do
now, and at the average price OF lOcts
per dozen, would yield a profit of SlO,-
600 more than they do now Again, if
thoroughbred stock would be used
each chick can be made to weigh one
pound more than they average now.
and if each farmer raises one hundred
chicks the increase i'm weight will be
one hundred pounds for each flock, and
at seven cents per pound, dressed,
would net him 81 more than the scrub
stock would, and the 900 subscribers
of the REGISTER would realize 81 ,W0
more than they do now. Now, add
this to the $40, 900 on eggs and we have
clear profit of ST. 900 in one year. l.
it anv wonder that our kind Editor in
cluded poultry in the new departure?
No one can dispute the above figures,
and that they can be realized by prop
er attention to details.
do not wish to monop1lize the poul-
try yard in the new departure, but to
encourage others in the various depart
ments. I will contribute little each
week for few issues, and Will be
pleased to trv to answer any questions
